hooray flash drive giveaway!

hello everyone -- thanks to all who've entered so far in my first giveaway! was so excited to come home from work and see so many fabulous suggestions already.

in fact, was thinking it over {{danger}} today, and thought: self, are you encouraging people to be competitive over their weddings? and the voices replied: no! it's all good fun! compete! compete! free stuff!! except for this one voice that was like.... mayyyybe a little.

so: am taking my prerogative as a woman and changing the rules -- just ever so slightly. :) please continue to post your ideas about what to load on five of these little sandisk beauties, and two folks will be chosen: one for the idea and one completely at random.
{{voices say: wild card!}}

so please continue your idea comments at the original post. and if you're not interested in the giveaway (or my mental health), thanks for your patience! it's only till friday, and i promise to keep posting etsy things as well. :)

two creative folks will receive 5 drives each; you have until noon EST friday 5/9 to enter. let me know if i've missed anything -- questions?

for your uploading/photosharing pleasure, i believe these drives are 4GB (black and red) and 2GB (pink), will update if otherwise. for such a teensy cute drive, that's *huge*. seriously. plenty of room for ...

don't usually feature vintage since they're mostly one of a kind things, but... so fun, and there's *so* much out there. if these are gone, just search vintage wedding for more treasures.
